Dillard

[TRENT]

They had too, Houston was going to take him, so Job well done

They moved up 3 spots to get a guy they wanted. Give me a break...

small price to pay for the Possible LT of the future. I like the pick and it leaves the door open for...........

[nerd]

Schefter reported that the eagles tried to trade up to #3 with the Jets. I can't imagine how much that would have cost and I wonder if they were trying to get the DT that the jets ultimately ended up drafting.

[BirdBrawn]

Why?

Guys get hurt. You need a swing tackle that can fill in when needed without getting your QB killed.

Yup Houston had to take the next guy on their list. I can appreciate that they went up and got their guy.

[The Duck]

Was the last time they picked a tackle in the first round with two starters in place Spongebob? Heh, maybe this guy will play guard this year. That's super easy.

LOL.

[HEREisAKERS]

So you're saying Dillard was their 3rd choice....

[Ground_Meat]

This was my exact point.

[art vandelay]

The Eagles wanted a consensus top-3 pick over a consensus top-25 pick.

If they draft Miles Sanders, I'll break my TV knowing that they would have preferred Josh Jacobs.

I can't find that anywhere. I saw they tried to get wilkins from Miami, but the jets?

I liked Jacobs in that spot too but its hard to
argue against taking a dancing bear with a mid-to-late first rounder.

Dillard looks real promising and I fully expect him to see the field, and perhaps start a game or two, in relief of Peters in 2019.

This move doesn’t effect Mailata in the short term one bit, either.

[ishimonster]

No a bad pick but a first round pick that is not going to play this year, also you have Milata and Pryor you were high on. With Sweat and Brown still on the board I think they should have went a different route with that pick, we will see what day 2 has in store.

Are you gonna bank on a guy whose only been playing football for 1 year and Matt fucking Pryor to protect Carson’s blindside?

Vaitai is a non-factor because he’s either getting traded or paid by someone else within the next year.

I don’t know if Dillard is the guy, but if he really was a top-10 prospect on Howie/Joe’s board, then that was excellent value and taking advantage of a rare opportunity to add a blue chip tackle that late in the draft.

he was on 97.5 this morning but I got the report second hand. He could have meant the dolphins but that was what was reported.

[thegodfather]

He is going to play this year. Have you watched JP in the last 3 years?

So Big V, Malata and Pryor are what ?

So basically what you are saying is Jason Peters will be hurt and someone needs to step in for Carson ? then why waste millions on Peters when they know he will never make it through a season.

[Maniac]

Meh. I read some reports that they tried to trade up with Miami for wilkins. Hopefully Dillard pans out
